Canada and Independence.

Canada has as large population as
had the United States when they
fought for and gained their indepen-
dence. Should Canada now declare
for independence, she must be pre-.
pared to take her place among the
nations, must Immediately face the
building and equipment of a navy to
protect her coast line and fisheries,
must establish standing army at least
as large as that o. the nited States,
must follow her very considerable COM
merce TO every part of the world with
q consular and diplomatic service, must
enormously increase her foreign depart
ment of government, and, severed from
British connection, pilot her own way
through the treacherous shoals and
dangerous whirlpools of international
complication.
With international relations with the
United States so varied and compli-
Gated independence would probably be
but the prelude to annexation, cor
tingency which the interest, sentiment,
and patriotic attitude of the great mass
OF Canadians forbids even to be dis
cussed. While all Canadians of any
character or standing oppose the sug-
gestion made, probably the French

A Street Of Tomb.

An interesting discovery has lately
been made in the direct line between
Pompeii and Nocera. The digging OF
a we'll in a vineyard revealed the exist
ence of street of tombs, about one
thousand feet east of the amphiteater
of Pompeii. If the whole street is as
closely lined with tombs as is the por-
ton laid bare, it will be one of the most
important discoveries lately made in
that part of the world, but unfortunate
ly money is wanting, so that the eXca-
walton is going on very slowly. Most
of the tombs are covered with rude in
scriptions painted in red, many of them
being in the nature of advertisements,
the tombs thus serving the purpose of
q newspaper along the much frequented
road. The exact date has not yet been
accurately ascertained, but they proba-
bly, belong to the periods of julius
Ca sar and Tiberius. A contrast may
be drawn between the condition at
Pompeii and that of Pergamon. which,
although double the size of Pompeii,
has, thanks to the Prussian Govern
ment, been laid clear within eight
years. In the latter, beautiful, finely
painted statues, votive offerings to
Athena, and belonging TO the sixth
century, b. c., have been found buried
in earth and literally forming the
foundation of the houses above. Their
style of art is one hitherto not sup
posed poss BILE at so remote period,
and they cause the ruins of Pompeii to
appear quite modern. The discovery
of an aqueduct, which probably dates
back to the time of King Solomon, is
reported from Jerusalem, and it is con-
fidently anticipated that the further ex-
cavation of it will bring to light some
extremely interesting and valuable in
scriptions.

Where Are Tom Pnine's Bones (!

Some six or seven years ago L was
returning from Winchester to Water
loo, when a London bookseller got into
the train at Farnham, and recogni ing
me as customer of his, we entered
into conversation. He told me he had
been to the sale of the effects of Cob
belts sister, who, / believe, had re-
Gently died, and among the articles he
had purchased was a trunk, which he
believed to be full of Cobbett's pam
phlets, but upon unpacking after pur-
chase he found paper containing
human bones, and marked "The Bones
of Tom Paine Having them in the
train, he said he would sell them TO me
at reasonable price if was willing to
purchase; but l declined the offer.
l cannot recollect the booksellers
name, but the date of the sale, which
could no doubt be ascertained, would
fix the date at which they changed
hands. What became of the bones
afterward 1 never knew, not feeling
sufficiently interested to inquire.

come of the box or its contents, and

Got Caught nj Last.

We see by Dakota paper that a
young man who was standing in the
office and watching n printer run job
press and asking what the rollers were
made of, and how the ink was manu-
featured, and why the type didn't get
smashed, and if it ran hard and f it
ran easy, and what the rollers were
madS of, and how often it was oiled,
and how fast it would print, and if he
ever got his hand caught, and what the
rollers were made of, and what it would
do if it was run backward, and how
much it cost, and how long it would
wear, and what good the grippers did,
and what the rollers were made of, and
how he told when he got on enough
ink, and why he didn't put some oil on
the disk. and if that big wheel was the
tympan, and what the rollers were
made Of, we notice, we repeat, that
while he was doing this, just as he
always does, that he got his fingers
caught in some cogs and had two Of
them smashed.
All, ha!-so it's come at last We
thought it must happen some day, but
il was beginning TO seem long and
weary while to wait. We have hoped
sometimes that he would get both
hands and one foot caught but two
fingers are better than nothing. And
then he didn't find out what the rollers
were made of either.-DdkOtd Bell.

Democracy and Divorce.

The clear and almost effected tenden-
cy OF to-day is to consider that the
marriage relation makes no difference
whatever in the status of the two mar
ried persons, except to effect the de-
scent of their property after death, and
to make it penal oifense for the hus-
band to refuse to support his wife.
Only in California. Dakota, Georgia,
and New Mexico il is declared that
"the husband is the head of the family
and the wife is subject to him." Only
III Lou siana AID New Mexico does she
"owe obedience to him" and is she
pressl' obliged to live with him, nd
this because the law of those States
comes from French and Spanish
sources. In man. States a hus-
band is no longer liable for his
wife's trespasses; and in nearly all
she is not bound to pay his debts. And
in Oregon and Washington Territory
"all laws Except voting and holding
o ice which impose or recognize civil
liabilities upon wife which are not
imposed or recognized as existing TO
the husband are repealed" while Mis-
sissippi bodily pronounces the common
law rs to disabilities of married women
and their property to be abrogated.
" lille, on the other hand, the doors of
escape from marriage have been multi
piled, the entering into marriage has
been encourage I. Pennsylvania and
Georgia expressly so state, and in all
States the ease, quickness, and sim
plicity OF the marriage ceremony has
been greatly increased. The solitary ex-
ception to this rule-that the age of legal
marriage has generally been changed
from the common-law rule OF fourteen
and twelve to sixteen, eighteen, and
even twenty probably due TO eli
matte reasons. The prohibited degrees
have been reduced, and frst-cousins
can general marry; bans have been
done away with, and informal and de-
ceptive marriages recognized. Illegal
relations have been more strictly treat
ed. Adultery has in many States been
made criminal otfense, and if other
illicit relations have been treated leni-
emily in the criminal law, in the civil
law every possible remedy has been af-
forded the injured party for reparation
or compensation. We may therefore
conclude, despite the conservative re-
action notable in the last few years,
that the tendency of democracy has so
far been, while recognizing marriage as
a civil status, to deny that right OF the
husband to authority and possession
which has hitherto been the axiom of
the Anglo-Saxon view of that institu-
ton, and to make marriage a contract
easily made and easily ended; while
strictly Furnishing oflenses against the
marital relation while it lasts.-E. j.

Sly.

An Arctic voyager gives an amusing
description of the Esquimau dogs
which accompanied his party. One of
them was named dublin, another Snar-
ley, and two others Port and Star
board, respectively one curled his tail
TO the right, the other to the left. We
extract an account of one of Star
boards characteristic performances,
which illustrates once more the familiar
truth that dogs have a good deal of
human nature about them.
One day the whole ships company
were witnesses to the means he en-
ployed to steal bone which Joe had
given to one of the other dogs. This
dog was somewhat small and rather
timid, unless Dublln-her natural pro-
tector-was there TO take her part; but
Starboard knew that if he tried to take
the bone by force oe would interfere
in an unpleasant manner with a whip.
So he went to her with smiling face
and a wagging tail, and, leaning
against her, began to push her aside III
the most friendly way possible. She,
not quite understanding this maneuver,
let go the bone and began swapping
and growing in a most threatening
manner.
This was what Starboard had en-
peyted, apparently, for he instantly
lay down on the treasure, and looked
about in an unconscious and distracted
manner, as though nothing were far
Their from his thoughts than the bone.
The other dog shifted around little,
evidently not understanding the trick,
and then walked away growing in
high dudgeon.
Starboard then discovered, to his
great establishment, that lie was lying
on a bone, and proceeded to pick it
with an hypocritical assumption of un-
consciousness that must have been ex-
tremely offensive to Snarley, who had
been an interested spectator of the pro-
ceeding, and who expressed his con-
tempt for such tricks by growl.

Buttons OH Coat Cuff

Everybody of an observant turn of
mind has noticed the two or three but
tons on the cuffs of military coats, but
few know the origin and reason of this
custom. They were first worn by sol
diers in the English army. The first
uniform coats of the English army had
no buttons on the cuffs, and the soldiers
used to draw the cuff of their coat
across their nose and mouth on every
occasion when q pocket handkerchief
or napkin might have been called into
reouisition. AS matter of course, the
cuff became shiny and defaced. Pun
ishment and reprimand were tried, but
they did not stop this habit, and at last
. board of officers met and suggested
the buttons on the sleeve, which was
adopted. they we're first worn on top
of the sleeve, but they have moved
